Thanks for the info, I was already looking at the diesels but an article about the MKZh caught my eye and I just kept looking... I did find a used MKZh for $29+K in my favorite color but I am still in the research phase (drives my wife nuts "why are you always looking at cars..."). So it looks like the MKZh might not be for me - too bad it is a great looking car but my commute is just a little too much I believe. Onto diesels that a few of you have suggested - I have thought about a BMW 328d and while BMW says starting price is $37K, good luck finding one at that price range (local dealer had one spec'd out to $50K). Anyway, will probably start looking at a VW Diesel or maybe the Mazda6 diesel, if Mazda ever figures that one out (already been delayed twice). Thanks for the advice - much appreciated!!

I am thinking about getting an MKZ Hybrid for the high MPG. I have a 65 mile commute each way (mostly highway between 70-80 most of the way) every day and would love to get 40 mpg vs. the 27 I am getting today from my Altima (granted it is paid off and all I am paying for is gas). Any advice on the MKZ hybrid? I am disapointed it has such a small gas tank and had hoped it would be bigger so I would only have fill up once a week. Will I really be getting 40 mpg or is that a load of BS? Also, I heard a new upgrade will allow MKZh to drive electric at speeds of up to 75 MPH. Is this true? Thanks
